Do you still have to setup the androidx toolchain to test out compose? I thought I read about it being available in pre-alpha stages through the normal development process but I could be wrong.

Yes you do.

👍 Thanks! Must've made that up.

There was a commit on the source code which pointed out that they updated the version in order to get ready to publish

Compose

as an artifactory

You can try this repo: https://github.com/Mishkun/try-compose The existing release is a bit older already but it'll get you started quickly.

thanks for reminding me. I’ll update these soon (and also try to setup nightly builds with ci checks for template build properly)
